Personally I'd LOVE to see an obstacle to climb over again. Those were fun days.

And I've said it before, but this thread looks like a good place to repeat myself. Consider the following points:
- In 2006 the tetras were 8 lbs apiece
- The GDC is always looking for a readily available, fairly inexpensive game piece

My vote for the curve ball is ... bowling balls!
And those tetra being flung around by robots were a hazard I don't think the GDC considered until the game was actually payed. I can't imagine anything like that again.

I too would love to see some ramps or something to climb again. The floor has been flat for too long.
